Tarrant & Andrews Family Diary

Morrissey

I just watched 4 music presents… Morrissey from earlier in the month. He’s aged really well and the new songs sound good. I bought the new album for Toby for his birthday, so must make sure I get to listen to it too.

Morrissey performed a Smiths song as well, Still Ill. The Smiths are possibly the one band that most represent my late teenage years to me. Their songs are instantly familiar and I still know a lot of the lyrics by heart. Oh those evenings spent discussing the most hilariously depressing lyrics!

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine

Wonderful.

Washing, Badminton and Bookgroup

A general sorting out day today. Several loads of washing dried and sorted. Supermarket not visited, must do it tomorrow!

A good game of badminton with Simon at lunchtime. He beat me 2-1 in spite of me being up by quite a lot in each game. Very frustrating the way I let the games go.

Bookgroup at Simon’s this evening. Discussing “Heart of Darkness”, which I found really hard to get through, didn’t enjoy, and didn’t feel I understood. Nice to discover that most other people hadn’t got it either.
